At Mr. Smith's house Ivy (Ms. Smith) tries on a new dress as the headmaster arrives to present the top scholar award to Mr. Smith's son. Guests quickly mock Ivy, sneering that she was "raised by a cleaner" and insulting her uneducated mother. A young person Ivy raised yells, "She raised me!" and defends her. That outburst triggers violence: partygoers seize and attack the defender and turn on Ivy. The celebratory scene collapses into a scuffle, interrupted by someone shouting, "Stop! What are you doing to Ms. Smith?" leaving the situation unresolved.
